Happy Birthday Conley!





Conley had his third birthday a few weeks ago.  I took the kids to the dinosaur museum and their favorite park in Munich during the day.  We had birthday celebrations when Daddy got home from work.  The other celebrations came later.  We went swimming, out for ice cream and watched Cars 2.
 
 He was so excited we couldn't really get him to look at the camera.  He requested a chocolate cake.  Simon told me that I was lazy this year with his cake.  Probably, but I am very pregnant and we are moving soon.  It is okay, he loved it, especially since he got a new bulldozer.

I am pretty sure that Auburn was just as excited about Conley's birthday as he was.  We had a countdown going for sometime.

Lightening McQueen and Cars are a big deal right now.  

Three year old stats:
Height: 39 inches (88th percentile)
Weight: 37.5 pounds (90th percentile)
I think it is safe to say that he will be a football player.

He loves cars, trucks, diggers, tractors, and trains.
His favorite colors are orange, brown, blue and black.
He is OCD about his things being in order.
He doesn't like messes.
He loves riding his bike and playing outside.
He will sit for a good hour "reading" his books or having his sister read to him.
He loves Metallica and music that is "fuerte" (strong and fast).
He has a pretend guitar that he totally rocks out with and makes the guitar sounds with his mouth just like his Daddy.
 He likes to dress like his Dad.
He is still pretty attached to his blanket, although it did not come on our month long adventure and he was fine.
He has a great imagination.
He can tell you what different car models are already.
He says "I love you" at random moments of the day.

We love you Conley!  Happy Birthday big guy!

Prague

So this week Simon's parents were in town visiting, and we decided to take a little weekend trip. The night before we left we decided on Prague. None of us had ever been there, we didn't have to drive over the Alps, and it was relatively close only about 3 and half hours away. Before we left we had to make sure that the rental car could drive to the Czech Republic, because apparently not all rental cars can, they have to be a certain type. I still don't know why. To make our adventure even crazier, the bag with Simon and my stuff in it somehow didn't make into the car. We did not make this discovery until we were at our hotel. Luckily, Auby's stuff made it and we had our coats and gloves. We did however, miss our thermals it was very cold. I'm sorry that there aren't more pictures of Auburn. She was bundled up in her stroller. Prague is a really neat city and has a lot to explore. Here are some of pictures..... St. Nicholas Church, where Mozart once played t...

reading

Auburn has been asking me to teach her to read.  So, I decided to try and just see what would happen.  She just barely turned four and I didn't want to push her, but she was excited so we started.  I am also not a fan of German Kindergarten (preschool here) and I know that she needed some extra stimulation.  Thank heavens for the internet and a knowledgeable sister-in-law.  We have been doing word family crafts, a sight word caterpillar and working on phonics.  There are so many wonderful resources out there to make learning to read fun.  She is really reading now and loves it.  She picks up books and reads the words she knows and asks us for the ones she doesn't know.  She is sounding words out and totally amazes me.  Right now she will read to anyone that will sit down with her.  reading to Uncle Seth and Conley  This is a common scene at our house, and makes me so happy.

movie of our trip to Mexico

Simon made a video of our trip to Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. Since I haven't gotten around to posting about the rest of our trip (that happened a year ago), I am just going to post the link to the movie on youtube.  Hope you enjoy!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLnUgh7HfbM
